I’m so excited for this game and movie! The highly anticipatedGhostbustersreboot is releasing just three days after a new game for Xbox One, PS4, and PC! From the looks of it, it’s a multiplayer twin-stick shooter that tasks players with bustin’ ghosts and feelin’ good as… well, I’m not quite sure who those characters are. At first glance, I thought they were the characters from the new film, but unless Melissa McCarthy grew a beard recently, then that isn’t the case....

If Xbox One is to be a Japanese success, it can’t be late to the party Dynasty WarriorsdirectorAtsushi Miyauchi has said that if Microsoft has any hope of gaining success in Japan, it needs a simultaneous launch, one much nearer to the North American release date. “I think Microsoft gave up promoting and presenting the Xbox 360 in Japan, it didn’t keep the momentum there,” he toldPolygon. “And if they can release the Xbox One as close as possible to [the] North American release date, I think that would make a really big difference this time around....

So, the game of my forever came out this week. I have been waiting forMarvel vs Capcom 3for so many years. My whole high school experience was basically defined by living at the local arcade and devouring everything there was to learn aboutMarvel vs Capcom 2, so its great to feel like my old self, figuring out new assists and combos in this iteration. This game is so pringles. It is also a special weekend because DtoidEurope is having theirEuroNARP 3....

Remember that? Back in 2013 we learned of a canceled grittyMega Man Xreboottitled “Maverick Hunter.” Fans were split on the concept, but ultimately I saw it as a fresh new take compared to what Capcom had been doing with the franchise lately — namely,nothing at all. Now, compliments ofartist Jaehoon Kim, who had worked on the game, we have a some more pictures of what the new Blue Bomber may have looked like....

Supa kawaii As wefirst reporteda few weeks ago,Animal Crossing New Leafis getting a major update this year that will incorporate amiibo support. The update will allow any character featured in the amiibo card line and theAnimal Crossingseries of amiibo figures, many of which are super cheap right now, to your town. It’s a fun idea, one I would enjoy a hell of a lot more if I would have been able to get a Jingle card....

New trailer and screenshots from TGS Sega is showing off new title Phantasy Star Novaat Tokyo Game Show this week. I know you’ll instinctually hit the play button on the trailer — and you should — but the screenshots are the star of the show here. They lookreallynice. PS Vita titles keep on looking better and better as time goes on. This is the kind of game I want toplay on Vita TV!...

[Please forgive the weird audio levels this week. Not sure why Holmes is loud and I am quiet sometimes.] On this week’s Podtoid, the duo discusses S Club 7, the art of grave robbing, and how to talk to people without coming across as a snooty elitist. Also, we devise what may be Willem Dafoe’s greatest movie role yet. He’d love it, for sure! As far as the old games go, there are vague allusions toAliens: Colonial Marines, Jim challenges Konami to let him direct a newSilent Hill, and a compromise is reached on that wholeMass Effect 3thing....

Madden 17 gameplay details and screenshots Ah, here we are: today we have 1) the first screenshots ofMadden 17, 2) theMadden 17cover athlete reveal, and 3) the firstMadden 17trailer. My bet is that it is not unlikeMadden 16, which Ireviewed last year. EA has ablog postpraising itself for “making defense fun again” two years ago and for “help[ing] you to dominate the air” last year. This year seems to be EA’s most ambitious yet as, “we address all three phases of the game on offense, defense, and special teams....

Information dredged from theResident Evil 6demo files suggest that a fourth campaign will be tossed into the game, telling the story of series enigma Ada Wong. The info was drawn out by members ofNeoGAFandGameFAQs. Apparently, Ada will get her grappling hook back, but her co-op partner has been obscured, called only “HELPER” in the files. Other details involve the return of Crimson Heads, and vehicular sections involving a jeep, snowmobile, and harrier....

Including brain biome and eyeball biome We’re almost two-thirds through the year and we still don’t have a solid release window for the highly anticipated open-galaxy gameStarbound, aside from “2013.” Imagine my face if it were to release on December 31st. Still, the team is continuing to provide daily updates on theStarbounddevelopment blog, and a post from a few days ago features an impressive video showing off some of the different environments that players may encounter....

Konami has announced release dates for all threeSilent Hillgames due out this year. TheSilent Hill HD Collectionis due March 6,Silent Hill: Downpouris slated for March 13 andSilent Hill: Book of Memoriesis coming March 27. Looks like March is going to be the scariest month of the year! Ooooh! I’m still holding out hope forDownpour. Ididn’t like what I played at E3, but I am willing to chalk it up to a bad demo....

Reduced fan the hammer damage Overwatch‘s director Jeff Kaplanwas very forthcomingin regards to my questions about the game pre-launch, and it seems like he’s continuing that mentality ina recent interview with Eurogamer. Despite all of the contention with the tick rate, he repeats a lot of what’s already been said inthis helpful video here, and notes that a 60hz update rate is currently available in custom games, but isn’t fully implemented because it would break the game for “20%” of players....
